The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 12 TOWNSEND LANE sales between May 1995 and September 2022 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the December 2004 sale was for 25% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% above the HPI over time, until the September 2022 sale, where it rises to 37% above the HPI.
